Energy Efficiency Tax Credit

Congress has extended the Energy Efficiency Tax Home Improvement Tax Credit until December 31, 2016.

Federal Tax Credits: Roofs (Metal & Asphalt)

You could claim 10% of the cost of home improvement (not including installation/labor costs), up to a maximum $500.

This credit has been extended for installations on a residents “principal residence” between January 1, 2011 and December 31, 2016.

 

How do I apply for the Tax Credit?

For products “placed in service” in 2015 and 2016, you need to file the “2015 or 2016 version of IRS Form 5695” and submit with your taxes by April 15th. On the “1040 Form” you enter this tax credit from Form 5695 (the residential energy tax credit) on line 53. Save your receipts and the Manufacturer’s Certification Statement for your records.
